Funding Circle Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Funding Circle Holdings plc

Funding Circle Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Funding Circle Holdings plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Funding Circle Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of specific climate pledges or commitments suggests that the company is still in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential for Funding Circle Limited to consider adopting industry-standard climate practices and setting measurable targets to enhance its sustainability profile. This would align with broader trends in the financial sector, where companies are increasingly held accountable for their environmental impact.
